The term is loosely used when referring to commercialized rap music, however hip-hop is
28、more than just music. It is the heartbeat of American ghetto youth who claimed their own self-expression and used it to rise above their physical circumstances. Hip-hop culture has its roots in pride, truth, courage and self-determination. As a result it has grown to influence almost every segment o
29、f the planet. Graffiti, or graf, is one of the four elements of hip-hop culture (the other three being breakdance, DJing and rapping). It started as underground urban art boldly displayed in public areas, usually sides of buildings or walls. It was used by citizens to make political and social comme
30、ntary, as well as gangs to mark territory. New York AttractionsThe centerpiece of the production design was the fishfied Times Square, with its Jumbotron, billboards and traffic jams. There are billboards for “Coral-cola”, “Fish King”, “Old Wavy” Statue of Liberty :This gift from France has become t
31、he symbol of New York City. It was a gift from the French government for the 100th birthday of Americas Independence. The steel framework was made by Gustave Eiffel, who also built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Statue of Liberty is 46,5 meters high and together with the pedestal it reaches 93 meter
32、s. It used to be possible to take the staircase inside the statue and walk all the way up the 354 steps to the head from where you have a nice view on New York City, but for security reasons it was not allowed anymore for some time after Sept. 11. Empire Sate Building: More than any other building i
33、n the world, the Empire State Building represents the ambition of humans to build towers that reach for the skies. It probably is New Yorks best known landmark and is prominent on many postcardsAt the time it was built on 5th. Avenue, it broke all records and was dubbed the 8th world wonder. It had
34、64 elevators (now 73) and was built in only 1 year, 45 days. You can visit the Empire State Building from where you have a magnificent view. The Empire State Building is situated south of Midtown, away from the skyscraper clusters downtown in the financial district and midtown, so this is one of the
35、 few places in Manhattan where you have a great 360 degrees view. (King Kong ;An Affair to Remember; Sleepless in Seattle) Central Park is one of those places that make New York such a great place to live. The huge park, 843 acres large, is located in the center of Manhattan. Its design is an exampl
36、e for city parks around the world. The park boasts several lakes, theaters, ice rinks, fountains, tennis courts, baseball fields, many playgrounds and other facilities. It is also home to the Central Park Zoo and the Metropolitan museum of Art. Especially during the weekends, when cars are not allow
37、ed into the park, Central Park is a welcome oasis in this hectic city. Brooklyn, a borough founded by the Dutch in the 17th century was an independent city until 1898, when Brooklyn decided in a close vote to become a borough of New York. At that time the Brooklyn bridge had connected the two cities
38、 for 15 years. The impressive bridge spans the East river from Brooklyn to lower Manhattan and stretches for about 1.5 km. Grand Central Terminal is one of the two monumental gateways that were built in the heyday of railway transportation. The monumental railway station was constructed in 1903-1913
39、 for the New York and Harlem Railroad company. It is a grand Beaux-Arts building which serves as a transportation hub connecting train, metro, car and pedestrian traffic in an efficient way. It has 67 train tracks on two different levels. Rockefeller Center: The design of the complex was done by the
40、 architect Benjamin Wistar Morris. When the Met abandoned the project after the 1929 stock market crash, Rockefeller came up with a plan for a corporate complex to house the new radio and television corporations. Radio City was born. One of the first buildings completed was the RCA building, which s
41、erved as the headquarters of the Radio Corporation of America. Madison Square United Nations HeadquartersTimes Square Whenever you talk to anybody in the world, you can safely tell him that the Times Square is N.Y. On 8. April, 2004, the Times Square had its 100 anniversaries celebration, which last
42、ed more than 8 months. Among the world famous city squares, the Times Square is the smallest one which is out of most peoples expectation. Many tourists dont know they are in the Times Square when they are actually there. They can not imagine that this triangle zone is the famous Times Square .In th
43、e terms of its area, it can not be considered as a square. However, this square attracts more than 2600 million tourists per year. It is seen as the symbol of N.Y., the accelerator加速器 of America. People can feel accurately the social beat when they are in the square. In 1904, the New York Times buil
44、t the Times Tower on 43rd street just off Broadway to replace the premises in Downtown. The square facing the building was called the Longacre square, but was soon renamed Times Square. the inauguration of the Times new headquarters was celebrated with a fireworks display, starting a New Years eve t
45、radition which still continues today. The first famous ball-lowering from the 1 Times Squares rooftop pole was held on New Years Eve 1907. At the start of the first World War, Times square was the center of the Theater district and attracted a large number of visitors. This made the square an ideal
46、place for billboards. In 1917 the first large electric display billboard was installed. The billboards have become such a tourist attraction for the area, that the zoning now requires the buildings to be covered with billboards! Los Angeles The City of Los Angeles also known as L.A., is the second-l
47、argest city in the United States in terms of population, as well as one of the worlds most important economic, cultural, and entertainment centers. It was incorporated as a city in California on April 4, 1850, when the citys population was only 1,610, and is the county seat of Los Angeles County. As
48、 of the 2000 census, it has a population of 3,694,820, but a May 1, 2005 California Department of Finance estimate shows the citys population at 3,957,875, with the metropolitan area at 17,545,623. The city is also large by geographic standards since it sprawls over more than 465 square miles (1200
49、square kilometers), making it physically larger than New York City and Chicago. In addition, Los Angeles can be considered to be an Alpha world city since it has hosted two Olympic Games (in 1932 and 1984) and is home to world-renowned scientific and cultural institutions. Hollywood Many people thin
